Saturday surprises -- art bin finds

day. We go to the market and see the wonderful farmer
who we buy our eggs, lettuce and delicious quiches from.
He is delightfully funny -- so the day starts out a treat.

Our son Sam and his girlfriend, Emily, dropped in with delicious
scones to share with us. After they left I kept working
on a large painting.

And tonight I went into a basement storage room, and started
looking through bins to discover this sweet portrait of my
son Christopher which I did from an older reference photo eight
years ago. I love the simplicity of it, and how touchingly
vulnerable he looks. His expression indicates he sat for me
because it was clearly another case of his Mother (me) needing
a model.

Thank you Christopher, and thank you Sam for all of the
times you've allowed me to draw and paint you -- a great
pleasure for me.
